Karma Migur Dorje Rinpoche, abbot of Sangchen Rabten Norbuling monastery in Nubri, Nepalwill be coming to Singapore in July 2012 for the first time to spread the words of Dharma.Karma Migur Dorje Rinpoche was born in 1971 in Kurtoe Rawabi valley, east Bhutan. As a child, Karma Rinpoche was very different from the rest of the other children. He was later recognized by Samdrup Tulku Rinpoche as the reincarnation of his previous life Dungtse Rinpoche, who was a great disciple of Tokden Shakya Shri (1853-1919), a Mahamudra and Dzogchen master, from Tibet. Samdrup Tulku Rinpoche gave him a grand enthronement ceremony witnessed by the local community in Bhutan. In the following year, Karma Rinpoche's parents took him to Bumthang in central Bhutan to visit His Holiness the 16th Karmapa. During this visit, His Holiness confirmed that Karma Rinpoche is indeed the reincarnation of Dungtse Rinpoche. His recognition as a tulku was also confirmed by His Holiness Do Drupchen, who becomes his root guru.

At the age of thirteen, Karma Rinpoche commenced his Dharma studies at Chorten Monastery in Sikkim under the guidance of His Holiness Do Drupchen. For more than twenty years, Karma Rinpoche had consistently engaged in Dharma studies through listening, contemplating and meditation at Chorten Monastery. Thereafter, His Holiness Do Drupchen requested Karma Rinpoche to be the guide for Sangchen Rabten Norbuling monastery. He now takes charge of all the ceremonies, Dharma studies and administration of the monastery.
